Curriculum

Mi occupo di bioinformatica algoritmica, e di algoritmi e strutture dati per stringhe. Quella degli algoritmi per stringhe è un'area classica dell'informatica, che di recente ha avuto nuove e importanti applicazioni nell'ambito di bioinformatica. Stringhe e sequenze, cioé dati di forma testuale, appaiono ovunque nella vita quotidiana (sequenze biologiche, pagine web, email, libri elettronici, sequenze musicali, ecc.)

Mi interessano le soluzioni applicabili a dati biologici, ma molti modelli studiati hanno importanza anche per l'area della combinatorica delle parole e nell'ambito della ricerca teorica su stringhe/sequenze.

Parte della mia ricerca si è concentrata su vari problemi algoritmici che si presentano nell'interpretazione di dati di spettrometria di massa di campioni biologici. Un'altra area di cui mi sono occupata è quella della definizione di distanze tra sequenze non basate su allineamento, e le loro applicazioni allo studio di sequenze genomiche di tipo EST e di sequenze ottenute con le nuove tecnologie nanopore.  

Sono autrice di numerosi articoli apparsi in prestigiose riviste internazionali (es. Bioinformatics, TCS, Algorithmica) ed in atti di convegni internazionali di riferimento nella mia area di ricerca. Sono inoltre regolarmente membro dei comitati scientifici di alcune tra le principali conferenze internazionali nell'area della ricerca algoritmica in bioinformatica (WABI), e string matching ed information retrieval (CPM, SPIRE, IWOCA).

Research groups

Algorithms
The group investigates structural aspects of fundamental problems in Computer Science and their mathematical models. This leads to the design of better algorithms protocols and systems as well as understanding of their implicit computational limits. Specific areas of interests include: algorithm design, data structures, string algorithms, computational complexity, combinatorial optimization, coding and information theory, machine learning. Most results obtained are in the intersection of algorithmics with several other areas in theory and applications, including bioinformatics, communication networks, operating research and artificial intelligence.
Algorithmic Bioinformatics and Natural Computing
Application of theoretical methods and data analysis to model information underlying biological processes: graph and string algorithms for systems biology; advanced data structures for sequence data; distance measures for biological sequences; natural (biotechnological, membrane) computing; pattern recognition, machine learning for biomedical data.
